Q: What are some ways to keep porch posts from rotting?

• <div><p>The main cause of a rotting porch post is prolonged exposure to moisture. So, the best way to prevent rot is to eliminate and guard against moisture.</p><ul><li><p>Use wood caulk to seal any cracks, openings, or areas along the post where water is likely to pool.</p></li><li><p>Secure porch posts into concrete, if possible.</p></li><li><p>Cover wooden posts with protective sleeves or wraps, often made of vinyl.</p></li><li><p>Install metal post anchors for extra support.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: How long will it take to rescreen my porch?

• <div><p>Rescreening your porch can take a few hours to a whole day, depending on the size of the enclosure and the amount of screen that needs replacing. If you decide to have a professional handle the rescreening, be sure to get a timeline and a cost estimate so you know how long you&rsquo;ll be without the screened-in space. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain artificial grass on decking?

• <div><p>Similar to how you would care for turf in the yard, you&rsquo;ll need to make sure you&rsquo;re staying on top of your deck grass by picking up debris, cleaning up spills as soon as they happen, and giving your turf a monthly brushing with a medium bristle brush to keep it from flattening</p></div>

Q: How long will landscape timbers last in the ground?

• <div><p>Landscape timbers can last <b>10 to 20 years</b> in the ground when installed correctly. Pressure-treated timbers will last longer than non-treated ones, as pressure treatment makes the wood more rot-resistant. Wood exposed to high moisture levels or extreme temperature and weather fluctuations may not last as long as wood in drier areas with more consistent weather.</p></div>

Q: Is it worth sanding a deck?

• <div><p>It is definitely worth sanding a deck to ensure the wood absorbs new stain. Sanding a deck removes the outer layers of aging wood, allowing the stain to penetrate. It also gives a fresh look to the entire surface as part of the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-refinish-deck.htm">deck refinishing process</a>. Without sanding, your stain or sealant is less likely to absorb into the wood. While sanding a deck is a time-intensive project, the rewards are noticeable and long-lasting.</p></div>

Bob was prompt and professional. We had him replace the crown on our chimney, replace several bricks, replace some flashing and repair some loose slate on our front step. I would highly recommend him for any masonary job.
